Greener rind atop skip animated dog (6)
I believe the answer is:
gromit
'greener rind atop' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'skip animated dog' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'skip' could be 'omit' (I've seen this before) and 'omit' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
